Need network security settings for wireless printer set-up

I have an older airpot extreme base station. I'm trying to set-up my wireless brother printer and it says that I need the following network information:
SSID- I know this one
Authentication Method (open system/shared key/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK)
Encription Mode (None/WEP/TKIP/AES/CKIP)
Encryption Key (WEP key/Passphrase)
From what I've found, I believe that I should be using WPA-PSK and TKIP, but what is that passphrase that I'm supposed to use or where can I find out that information?

I am also trying to set up a wireless printer set up. I have an Airport Extreme and a new Brother wireless printer. Sounds perfect, right? Well, I am so confused right now. I bought an Airport Extreme while overseas a bunch of years ago and am now using it in the States. I have no memory of any info such as what is being asked from me to set up wireless printing. I don't remember the wireless security password, authenication method, or either of the Encryption thingies. I don't know where to find this information, whether it be on my computer somewhere or online. Please advise. Plus I don't use any security settings as I live pretty far from other humans in my neighborhood. Does that matter in the big picture?
Please help a girl out!

Security settings for my printer

HI I put security on my printer and now I don't know how to disable it on printer or on website, please help!! Thanks Cas

Hello casBj, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having issues with security on the printer. If you go in to the Tools menu on the printer and go to Restore Defaults, this will reset the printer and remove any security information. You will have to set up the printer again but at least you will have access to it. Hope this information is helpful. Cheers,

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working. It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac. if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network? Any help appreciated.

Hi Staxofjoy,
Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
Summary of what you will need to to:
1. Reset Printer to Defaults
2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
5. Add the printer to the print queue.
Hope this helps

Receive network unavailable on c4780 wireless printer

I have recently installed an Airport Extreme and cannot get my C4780 printer to connect to the network wirelessly. Have verified the printer is working correctly via a usb connect to my iMac. Have downloaded the HP suite of applications to support the printer. Have installed and reinstalled software and drivers several times. Message when I attempt to connect to one of the listed networks is that the "Network Unavailable" however they are 3 feet from each other.

I looked up the specifications on the HP printer and found that it does not support "n" wireless.....only "b/g".....very surprising....and I could not find anything about what types of wireless security it supports.
So, you are probably going to have to drop down in performance on the AirPort Extreme to allow the HP to connect and experiment to find a compatible security setting for the HP.
Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click Wireless just below the row of icons
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Radio Mode selection box and select the following Radio Mode:
802.11 n only 5 GHz --- 802.11 b/g
Temporarily, change the setting for Wireless Security to None and click Update to save the settings.
See if the HP will connect. If it will, then you have the correct Radio Mode setting.
You will now need to experiment with different settings for Wireless Security to find a compatible setting for the HP.
Open AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Security = Try WPA2 Peronal first, then WPA/WPA2 Personal, if WPA2 Personal will not work.

I can't add an older airport express to OS 10.7.5? Want to use for wireless printing and iTunes.

I'm using an Airport Extreme model A 1301 for my home's wireless network. I have three of the older Airport Express model A1084, which I was using for remote speakers for iTunes and for a wireless printer set up, but discontinued using them at some point. I currently have OS 10.7.5, and I could have sworn I was using that OS the last time I used the A1084s, but maybe I updated to it afterwards, I can't remember. At any rate, I've plugged one of the units in, look for it in Airport Utility, and get a message "this version of airPort Utility doesn't support this base station. Use airPort Utility 5.6 to configure or manage this base station. AirPort Utility 5.6 is available at AirPort Service and Support." I go there, download the program, install it, and get a message "The installation failed. The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance." Am I in a catch-22 here - am I not able to use the older A1084s because I need airPort Utility 5.6, but I can't use airPort Utility 5.6 because I have OS 10.7.5? Does this mean I may as well throw these older A1084s away?

If you have not already done so, I suggest that your start over on the AirPort Expess "from scratch" by performing a Factory Default Reset and then attempt to configure it to join the network again.
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ
If you have an older Express, make sure that you are not trying to configure it to connect to the 5 GHz network, as it is unable to do so.
Assuming that the name of the wireless network, wireless security setting and password on the Express match up with the AirPort Extreme, the Express should "join" the network if it is working correctly.
If you are still having problems, all that you really can do is try the default reset a few more times. If still no luck, the Express....which is at least 5-6 years old or older, may likely need to be replaced with a new model.

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer "Ready" for wireless printing, but gives "error -- printing" message

This P1102w printer was configured for wireless printing from two computers (WinXP and Win7), both with a network sharing designation, and all functions worked perfectly:
Printing from the WinXP computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Printing from the Win7 computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Windows Printer Test Pages were printed from both installed computers, showing correct computer names, the printer name, Port names (IP addresses), Data format (IMF), Driver information, etc.
Several days later (after new boots), the WinXP computer showed printer status as being "Ready", along with the correct printer "Type" (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w), "Where" (IP address), and "Comment" (network printing). When a print job was submitted from Microsoft Word, the control-panel printer window first showed the message "printing", and then the message "error -- printing". Nothing was printed. The same results occurred when a print job was sent to the WinXP computer from the networked Win2K computer. HP’s troubleshooting routine did not identify the error, its cause, or what can be done about it.
Successful printing continued, as before, from the Win7 computer directly, and from the networked Win2K computer to the Win7 computer as a guest.
The printer’s blue “i” network indicator lamp is lit, and all three computers continue to communicate through the hub to each other and to the Internet.
HP’s printer installation program was executed on the WinXP computer, using the “fix” option, but nothing changed. The installation program was executed again on the WinXP computer, using the “new install” option (without removing the existing P1102w installation); the “browse” function saw the network, but no printers were found, and the installation could not be completed.
This is very perplexing. Any suggestions?
PS: The same problem occurred once before, and it was fixed by resetting factory defaults on the printer, hard wiring the printer to the WinXP computer through a USB cable, re-installing the printer’s wireless settings from HP’s installation disk, and repeating all of the networking and sharing setups on all three computers. This is a lot of work that is not worth repeating, because the successful results have not been permanent.

To: Neonskeleton,
Thanks for your response -- especially because you are an HP employee!
My Win2k machine does not use HP software, nor communicate to the HP printer. (HP did not write a Win2k driver for the P1102w -- and evidently no one else has done this, either.) My WinXP and Win7 machines use their HP drivers to send print jobs to the P1102w wirelessly, and both machines have the P1102w set up as a shared printer. Then, when I connect to those machines as a "guest" and submit a print job to those machines, those machines receive the print job and then communicate with the printer using the proper installed printer drivers.
Everything worked great with this configuration, until suddenly the printer was no longer responsive to ANY jobs coming from the WinXP machine, even though there was a "printer ready" indication on the WinXP machine, and even though the printer responded perfectly to print jobs coming from the Win7 machine.
When I tried to "fix" the WinXP setup by running HP's setup program on CD, nothing changed. Then, when I tried to reinstall the WinXP setup for wireless printing, the program insisted that I reset THE PRINTER'S factory defaults and proceed using a USB cable -- even though I wanted to simply ADD the computer for wireless communication to an existing networked printer! I would conclude that something screwed up the printer's inner settings (maybe an unsolicited and invisible HP update sent to my printer from the Internet?).
As I mentioned in my original post, I went through this process once before, reinstalled everything on all machines, and all was well. Until THE SAME non-recognition problem surfaced again!
I do not want to spend any more time on this. I went to Staples and bought a second P1102w printer (it is a nice little machine that uses a xerographic cartridge, rather than costly inkjet cartridges that frequently plug up). I'll use a USB cable for the connection, rather than the installed wireless feature, and set up the P1102w as a shared printer. I expect that all of my other computers will be able to link as a "guest" through the wireless hub and be able to print.
Thanks again.

WRT54GP2 security settings for HP Ipaq 111 handheld

I have a home wireless network, using a Linksys WRT54GP2 wireless router. I'm trying to secure the network, with has 3 wireless systems, my home PC, a notebook, and my Ipaq 111. I can get my home PC and the notebook to work when I setup the WRT54GP2 router using Authentication: WPA-Pre-Shared Key and Data Encryption: TKIP, but the Ipaq 111 will not even see the router with any security setting. When the security settings for the Linksys Wireless Router WRT54GP2 are disabled the Ipaq 111 sees the router and connects to the internet.
The HP Ipaq 111 handheld has the following security options: Authentication: Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK. Data Encryption: Disabled, WEP, TKIP, AES.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the Ipaq 111 to work on the secured Linksys WRT54GP2 router?
Thanks for any help.
John

On your Router setup page, Click on the Wireless tab and below change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on Save Settings, then click on the Sub tab Advanced Wireless Settings and below Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect to it on your Ipaq.

Can I use an old UFO Extreme for wireless printing?

Greetings, I have a new airport extreme base station managing my wireless network, but I am still printing wirelessly from a Macbook Pro by sharing a printer with wired a G4 desktop. (my 'main' BS is in the basement, G4 and printer on the 3rd floor, connected to the BS via ethernet). I have an older UFO style base station gathering dust that I'd like to use for wireless printing by having it sit next to the printer and connect to it via usb, join my existing network wirelessly, and, well that's it. Essentially I want it to be an airport express, so I can print wirelessly without the G4. Is this an easy/possible setup? What settings will I have to change on my 'main' airport BS as well as the UFO? Any guidance you can give me I'd very much appreciate. Many thanks in advance, and sorry for what I suspect is a dumb question.

Badlyva, Welcome to the discussion area!
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can not join a wireless network like the AirPort Express (AX) can. But you could configure your new AEBS to act as a WDS main base station and the old AEBS to act as a WDS remote base station. The bad part is that you would need to use 802.11g and the WDS link would cut your available wireless bandwidth in half of that.

Hi patede,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you would like to learn how to set up your Deskjet 2540 printer to be able to print wirelessly from your Android mobile device when you don’t have a router.
I have included the document titled Printing from an Apple or Android Mobile Device with HP Wireless Direct. The document will walk you through setting up the printer and how to print from your Android mobile device. Please note that when you are connected to the printer’s network you will not have access to the internet.

Can not connect All in one 209b to new router for wireless printing....

Have an HP laptop and All in one priner 209b. All was working fine, wired and wireless printing. Then we had to upgrade our ATT Uverse router. Everything works...even wireless laptop and printer when connected to laptop. However, can't get printer to printer wireless since it has the old router info. I used the disk but when it asks to you to pick the printer, I choose the printer but it says printer now found ??? what ???? and this is with the cable connected. I do not have the wizard on the touch screen but I did reset to factory settings hoping it would load new router info but it does not. How do you manually enter router into for wireless printing. Is it best to delete the printer and reinstall as new...wired and then wireless ???
I am about to call an outsite company and pay the outrageous charge as the help on HP is not working. Thanks

'Sensible' Definition & Security settings for a Production APEX environment

Hi Folks.
What's the feeling on Definition and Security settings for a production APEX application?
Here are my settings for my UAT environment (not quite in production just yet)
Debugging: NO
Status: AVAILABLE
Build Status: RUN APPLICATION ONLY
Authorization Scheme : MUST NOT BE PUBLIC USER
Session State Protection: ENABLED
In the APEX Administration setup, access to my site is restricted by IP also. As a consequence I think it's buttoned down quite tightly but, eventually, we plan to open this up to the Big Bad Web!!
What are your thoughts on the pro's and con's, the why's and wherefore's of one setting or another.
I'm hoping this thread will prove to be a good forum for discussing APEX application security configurations and a reference for others.
Please feel free to link to whitepapers of relevance.
Maybe someone could take up the challenge of producing an 'UNHACKABLE' :-) APEX website?
Simon.

Hi Simon,
If you're just talking about instance settings, then you might also add to that using the 3.1 runtime only instance.
If we're opening it up to application design, well...that's a whole other matter ;)
